Conscious Growth Convergence

This year’s theme, Rooting into Resilience, asks us to reflect on the foundations that truly sustain us: our relationships, our cultures, our ancestral lineages, our connection to place, and the networks of care that exist beneath the surface. In a time of political, ecological, and social upheaval, this convergence invites us to come together and listen deeply. To remember that resilience is not built in isolation, but through what we tend together.

The theme is deeply inspired by the camas that grows in the Lost Valley meadow, a traditional food source of the Kalapuya people, whose root bulbs were carefully harvested and eaten as nourishment. Its medicine reminds us that life is sustained below the surface, where deep roots, patience, and relationships create the conditions for healthy growth.

Rooting into Resilience calls us to turn toward our own roots. To strengthen our mycelial networks of community and mutual support. To remember that endurance is not about surviving alone, but about tending what connects us. Join us for the 2026 Conscious Growth Convergence as we care for what is essential, both seen and unseen, so that we may remain grounded, connected, and resilient together.
